Feature Request: Time/Distance between waypoints
-
Hello,
Related to this thread, it would be great to have this data visible on the webUI without having to open the toolbox->calculator.
The idea behind this is that when planning a route, I can quickly modify a waypoint if it happens to be longer/shorter than I want to ride for that day.
For example, I'm planning a route from Salt Lake City, Utah over the Lolo pass in Idaho then back home. I'd like this to take three days but I'd prefer not to ride over 6h per day if possible. Having quick visibility into the time between waypoints I can adjust them as needed to keep around my 6h threshold.

Do you mean the time between two consecutive waypoints? Or do you mean the calculation between, say, the third and eleventh points?
(I know you know the function of the calculator in the toolbox) -
@AdultChurch I would recommend just splitting your route into 3 separate routes at appropriate points. Not only will you be able to see the length/duration of each route more easily (the last waypoint in each route shows it), but also your navigation device/app will usually show the distance and expected arrival time for your destination each day.

@Jack-van-Tilburg, Yup, the time/distance between consecutive waypoints.

@Herko-ter-Horst, unfortunately the assumes that I've already planned the route and know exactly where I want the waypoints.
The idea is that I can easily move a single waypoint around until I've found a time/distance from the previous waypoint that I'm happy with.

Splitting the route is a possible work arround but not very practical during creation phase. If I split the route and then, for example change the end point of the 1st part, I must then open the second part and change the start point consequently. And so forth for all other parts. Not very practical for a 10 day journey for example.
What would be cool is to have the possibility to mark a waypoint as an "overnight stop" (like inserting a pause) and have the program indicate the distance from the previous "overnight stop" directly in the Waypoints list.
